It's plain to see that New England intends
to dictate American treatment of the fishery
dispute The reciprocity treaty of 1854 was
a national achievement by the Democratic
party for national objects. Its abrogatiSn in
ment led by Mr.. Sumner. In 1871 the
treatment of the fisheries was made the Incl
dent of larger question, which was the Ala
bama claims. Canada then asked general
reciprocity, which we denied, and finally we
offered free fish and free fish-oilsi Canada
accepted the offer, provided we would pay for
the use of inshore Canadian fisheries, from
which the treaty of 1915 excluded us. We
answered that free fish and free fish oils
would be as valuable to Canada as would the
inshore fisheries to us. In the end it was
agreed that a commission should ascertain
what sum, if anything, we should pay. We
were 10 appoint one commissioner, England
one, and a third was to be- selected by the
President and Queen comointly. No one
dreamed that the commission would award
penny against US. New England insisting on
naming our commissioner, o Massachusetts
Republican was selected on the insistence of
Messrs. Hamlin, Edmunds, Dawes and Bout
we'll What sort of a Commissioners he was
those who insisted onfim can describe.
The outcome was an award against US Of
five and a half millions, which Canada got,
and in addition her fish exempt from duty in
our ports. With that money Canada built up
her fishing interests and paid bouuties. All
the testimony taken by Mr.. Edmunds' Senate
committee last simmer shows that the New
England fishermen care really nothing for
right to fish inshore on Canadian waters, or
to go inshore for any purpose, if they can
only exclude Canadian fish and have Ameri-
can markets TO themselves. tits flooding the
American ports with Canadian asA at D cheap
price that Massachusetts seeks TO preyeut.
Hence New England Senators will not tole-
rate negotiation by the President or new
treaty.
Our Massachusetts fishermen violate the
Canadian law, possibly, and only in order to
keep open the war on Canada, and to insist
the better on excluding Canadian fish. Can
ada, on the other hand, is brutal to our fish
ermen in order 10 prevent us from .svying a
duty on Canadian fish and in order to get a
reciprocity treaty This dispute will meyer
be adjusted unless Washington and London
entirely disregard the Massachusetts prot.ee-
tive tariff Yankees and the Canada Kanucks

The Boston Herald lind, notes an increase
of President Cleveland's popularity in his

gulf that seemed at one time to be separating
Mr.. Cleveland from his party has been slowly

his attitude in any marked degree, but the
Democratic party managers are beginning to
perceive the ACCESSIBILITY of shifting their
ground so as to bring themselves into harmo-
ny with the positions occupied by Mr.. Cleve-

The various Legislatures throughout the
country have been polled as to their presi-
Dental preferences. On the Democratic
side more than three-fourths are in favor
of the denomination of Cleveland, and on
the Republican side Blaine has the lead,
but Sherman is good second. The latter
it is said, is on the war-path in earnest.
He is to make trip South, where he has
been strong with his party, and will then
endeavor to capture the Western States.
Sherman and Hawley seem to be the COM
ing ticket, according to presentindications.
Blaine has fallen behind, and if he is NOM
mated it will be only for vindication. If
he is nominated, he will be beaten disas-
trously. If he is beaten in convention, he
will see to it that the successful man goes
down.

A Correction.

MEssRs. EDITORS In an article published
in your last issue regarding the Sewing Society
of Ascension Church there were several erro-
neous statements which need to be corrected.
When the Society was first organized, under
the rectorship of Rev. James Chrystal, it did
not consist of forty members. 1t had only
nine or ten members, and it has ever since
maintained about the same average member
ship. 1t is as large now as it has ever been.
Neither is the statement correct that most of
the ladies now belonging to the Society were
its original members. Only three of the ladies
who now attend the meetings of the Society
were connected with it at the start / am
sure that the article upon which have made
the above comments was written in friendly
and kindly spirit, and simply desire to cor
rect some of its errors, which, though no
doubt unintentional, might give the public a
false impression concerning the present con-
dition of work of the Society.

The Senate has rejected James A. Trot-

dent Cleveland for Recorder of Deeds for
the District of Columbia, in the place of
James c. Matthews, also colored, twice re-
iected. Trotter will succeed to the posi-
ton, however, having been appointed Dep
uty by Matthews, and under the law he
will hold over after Matthews term ex-
pires, which occurred yesterday. On this
point we call attention to some views on
the subject By Democratic Congressman,

the Presidents persistence in filling the

Gov Lee, of Virginia, has called an extra
session of the legislature to convene on
March 18th. The object is to take some
action on the never ending debt question.
If Virginia had striyen as hard to pay the
debt as she has in devising ways to avoid
it, by this time much of it would have been
cancelled, and the residue would not be
much of charge upon the States re-
sources. The whole trouble is due to Ma
hone, who inaugurated the movement to
scale the debt, knowing it would be popular
with sufficient number of people to control
the State and thus install himself in place
and power, and to fill his pockets as well.

first page of this issue. 1t has the ring of
